The achievement strengthens Safari's ability to serve international medical cannabis markets under the strictest regulations

EDMONTON, AB, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Safari Flower Company ("Safari"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), is proud to announce the receipt of European Union Good Manufacturing Practice ("EU-GMP") certification for its Ontario facility, solidifying its ability to serve international medical cannabis markets. The certification is granted for a three-year term and validates Safari Flower Company's unwavering commitment to meeting the highest international standards for quality, compliance and operational excellence.

"We are incredibly proud to achieve the highest level of EU-GMP certification, which reinforces our position as a trusted cultivator and manufacturer of high-quality medical cannabis for international markets," said Brigitte Simons, CEO of Safari Flower Company. "This milestone reflects the strong culture of compliance, quality and operational excellence embedded across our facility, and the trusted partnerships required to serve regulated supply chains.
